The file has been pending with co-legislators more than three years.

Annex IV: Envisaged repeals

No.

Policy area

Title

Reasons for repeal

1.

Road transport

Council Regulation (EEC) No 3916/90 of 21 December 1990 on measures to be taken in the event of a crisis in the market in the carriage of goods by road

Will be repealed in the context of the 2027 transport simplification package.

2.

Agriculture

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 863/91 of 8 April 1991 on the special sale of intervention butter for export to the Soviet Union and amending Regulation (EEC) No 569/88

Specific scheme for the special sale of intervention butter for export to the Soviet Union. The provisions were time bound and are no longer relevant.

3.

Agriculture

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2451/91 of 12 August 1991 on supplies of butter and skimmed-milk powder to Bulgaria

Establishes quantities and prices for a tender of butter and skimmed-milk powder to be supplied to Bulgaria in 1991. The provisions were time bound and are no longer relevant.

4.

Agriculture

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2535/91 of 22 August 1991 amending Regulation (EEC) No 863/91 on the special sale of intervention butter for export to the Soviet Union and amending Regulation (EEC) No 569/88

Prolongs a specific scheme for the special sale of intervention butter for export to the Soviet Union to 31 October 1991 with imports having to be effected not later than 31 December 1991. The provisions were time bound and are no longer relevant.

5.

Agriculture

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2677/91 of 9 September 1991 fixing the quantities exceeding normal carry-over stocks in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic

Establishes excess quantities of carry-over stocks for certain agricultural goods in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic for the period from 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991. The provisions therefore concerned a specific period and are no longer relevant.

6.

Trade

Council Regulation (EC) No 3036/94 of 8 December 1994 establishing economic outward processing arrangements applicable to certain textiles and clothing products reimported into the Community after working or processing in certain third countries

Establishes special economic outward-processing arrangements for textiles and clothing exported for processing and subsequently reimported. Outward processing is now covered by the Union Customs Code.

7.

Trade

Commission Regulation (EC) No 3017/95 of 20 December 1995 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 3036/94 establishing economic outward processing arrangements applicable to certain textile and clothing products reimported into the Community after working or processing in certain third countries

Provides the administrative machinery for Regulation 3036/94, including prior authorisations, standard forms, checks, cooperation between authorities and quantitative-limit management. Abolition of the underlying scheme would ordinarily remove the operational purpose of these implementing arrangements.

8.

Intercultural dialogue

Decision No 1983/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue (2008)

Established the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue (2008), including activities, coordination, financing and evaluation. The implementation period and final-assessment deadline of Decision No 1983/2006/EC establishing the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue (2008), ended on 31 December 2009 and the financial envelope for implementation covered the period 1 January 2007 – 31 December 2008 so this decision has become obsolete.

9.

Agriculture

Commission Decision of 20 December 2006 setting up a scientific group of experts for designations of origin, geographical indications and traditional specialities guaranteed (2007/71/EC)

In the framework of Council Regulations (EC) No 509/2006 and (EC) No 510/2006, Commission Decision 2007/71 has set up a scientific group of experts to support the Commission with scientifical knowledge in assessing applications for registration of designations of origin, geographical indications and traditional specialities guaranteed. However, such group is actually not envisaged under this Regulation. It has also rarely been consulted when the two 2006 Regulations were in force and it has no longer been consulted since Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 entered into force. Therefore there is no longer a need for this group. The Decision is obsolete and can be repealed.

10.

Creativity and Innovation

Decision No 1350/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 concerning the European Year of Creativity and Innovation (2009)

Established the European Year of Creativity and Innovation (2009), including national coordinators, European coordination meetings and supporting activities. These arrangements served a specific Year; financing operated through existing programmes rather than a permanent standalone programme.

11.

Transport

Commission Regulation (EU) No 176/2011 of 24 February 2011 on the information to be provided before the establishment and modification of a functional airspace block

The provisions of Commission Regulation (EU) No 176/2011 are obsolete, as functional airspace blocks are no longer required under Regulation 2024/2803 (EU) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2024 on the implementation of the Single European Sky.

12.

Ageing

Decision No 940/2011/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 September 2011 on the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations (2012)

Established the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations (2012). The Year has ended and the Commission issued its implementation and overall-assessment report, COM(2014) 562, supporting the conclusion that the event-specific organising and reporting functions have been fulfilled.

13.

Citizens

Decision No 1093/2012/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on the European Year of Citizens (2013)

Established the European Year of Citizens (2013). The initiative has ended and the Commission delivered its implementation and assessment report, COM(2014) 687. Its event-specific coordination and implementation functions therefore appear exhausted.

14.

Development

Decision No 472/2014/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on the European Year for Development (2015)

Established the European Year for Development (2015) and its public-information, participation and awareness activities. The designated period has ended, suggesting that the instrument has exhausted its prospective campaign function.

   In this annex, the Commission provides further information, as far as available, on the initiatives included in its work programme, in line with the Interinstitutional Agreement on Better Law-making. This information, which is provided in brackets next to each initiative, is indicative only and subject to change during the preparatory process, notably in view of the outcome of an impact assessment process. Simplification initiatives or initiatives with a strong simplification dimension are presented with a blue background.
